I got to admit that's what I miss about my last car armrest and cruise control.

I use the container under the armrest to put sweets in. :D

    Mine takes off pretty sharply and almost runs away with me, then asks for 2nd gear quite quickly (the arrow comes on the display asking to change gear for efficiency). What amazes me about this engine

When I test drove a demonstrator the 100 ps was a Deffinately a plus as it was very quick! Can't imagine what the 125 is like!

Mine takes off pretty sharply and almost runs away with me, then asks for 2nd gear quite quickly (the arrow comes on the display asking to change gear for efficiency). What amazes me about this engine is the low rpm at 80 or 90mph on the motorway. I have cruise control which I thought would be scary to use but is actually brilliant.

Do all Fiestas have the change gear indicators?

Nice, armrest does sound like a good mod imo, im just worried it will interfere with the gear lever?

I think most cars have them now. I just find them advising changing up a gear too early. Even in my diesel Mondeo it isn't happy changing up when the indicator says. On the wife's eccoboost Fiesta it's way too early...

Not if u the factory 1

Factory 1 won't get in the way of nothing

Don't worry about gear change indicators they are there just as a guide and are not that good at real world driving

just found that you can search the vin number on ford.co.uk to see what sync you have however mine doesnt work!

you get that from a write off? good idea though!

Yeh and car breakers will proberly have 1 or you can buy 1 from ford for about 250 I think

I will have a look- my dad knows a few good scrappies round my way so hopefully will be good.

Just got the !Removed! thing to work- i have sync which i am buzzing about as it sounds great. haha. kid in sweet shop but for a car!

Aftermarket armrest such as armster don't interfere with the gear lever either - but OEM from higher spec look much better

  • Author

I'll have to see what I can find if I decide to add one

Here's some pics as promised

Looks really good! I couldn't have a 3door any more I got sick of the heavy doors on my punto.

You got used to the gears yet?

Yep use to them now. Proper hot day I paid for that doing the armrest sweat dripping off me. Lol

  • Author

Haha think I'll drop the bullet and get an Armster one. I do a few odd trips on motorway and it will be nice for then!

Good nice one. I've just put my punto up for sale so spent all day doing a valet etc on it.

Just been reading through the manual in pdf form. Where is the gear change indicator on the car? I can't see it in the manual? Could be a later addition of course

I'll have a look 2mora and let u know where it is. I think it's in the little display for ur trip computer a little arrow shows in there but to be honist I take no notice of if it

Got the phone call. Picking her up tomorrow! Cannot wait!

Good good let us know how u get on

How was the car mate

Picked the car up earlier- it's a dream to drive. So nice and responsive to drive.

Got to go in for a few stone chips thay are on the side that I wasn't too happy about but apart from that I'm really happy.

Sync is a fantastic tool for me. My phone works seemlessly. And also the stop start works really well.

Done a few little runs tonight and the car is smooth.

As for the clutch it's not too heavy for me I quite like it
